Who is responsible for determining Continuing Education (CE) requirements?

The responsibility for determining Continuing Education (CE) requirements typically lies with the Board. In the context of professional licensing and regulations, boards are established to oversee various professions and ensure that practitioners maintain their qualifications and stand updated on industry standards and practices. This involves setting the criteria for CE, which can include the number of hours required, approved topics, and the types of courses that are acceptable.

While the Department may implement and enforce these regulations, it is generally the Board that establishes the specific CE requirements, ensuring alignment with the needs of the profession and the public. Institutions provide courses and training, but they do so within the framework established by the Board. The Commission may serve in a supportive role or focus on specific areas, but the overarching authority and responsibility for CE requirements rest with the Board. This ensures a consistent and standardized approach to professional development across the field.
